Population
- Government Agent = 1
- Producer Agents = 100
- Consumer Agents = 110
Structural unemployment is set at nine percent of the consumer population.
Expenditures Regime 1 (1960 - 2020)

Flat Rate Taxation
Set at 37% of all consumer agent income.
Expenditures Regime 2 (2021 - 2050)
Government agent funding of producer agents will increase at 4% per annum (in every model iteration that follows 2020).
Marginal Rate Taxation
A 'historical average wage' is calculated in each iteration. The 'historical average wage' is used in the current iteration to apply marginal rate taxation.
Brackets:
- Tax Bracket 0: No tax on a wage amount up to the first 50% of the historical average wage.
- Tax Bracket 1: Pay 60% tax on any remaining wage amount that is between 50% and 100% of the historical average wage.
- Tax Bracket 2: Pay 70% tax on any remaining wage amount that exceeds 100% of the historical average wage.
Taxation Comparison Example
Model Iteration Historical Average Wage: 36253.103 (Previous iteration).
- Consumer agent 5 is paid 40235.84.
A flat rate tax of 14887.26 would have been returned. Under marginal rate tax, 13663.85 is returned. - Consumer agent 10 is paid 24380.53.
A flat rate tax of 9020.80 would have been returned. Under marginal rate tax, 3752.39 is returned. - Consumer agent 8 is paid 62032.38.
A flat rate tax of 22951.98 would have been returned. Under the marginal rate tax, 28921.42 is returned.
Consumer Agent 8 Marginal Tax Return Breakdown
50% of historical average wage amount at iteration 6: (36253.103 / 2) = 18126.55
- No tax on wage amount up to the first 50% of the historical average wage amount.
- Tax on wage amount that is between 50% and 100% of the historical average wage amount (18126.55 * 60%) = 10875.93
- Tax on wage amount that exceeds 100% of the historical average wage amount ((62032.38 - 36253.10) * 70%) = 18045.49
Consumption function
- Proportion of disposable income: 60%
- Proportion of (agent wealth) at the opening of the period (quarter): 40%
